Dingwall Field Club invite to public as 2025 walks’ programme released
A ROSS-SHIRE field club is ready to step out on a series of walks and outings and has extended an invitation to anyone who is interested to get in touch.
Dingwall Field Club organises a varied series of outings with walks taking in rivers, forests and the seashore.
The latest programme, which started earlier this month with an outing to Abriachan, includes an Attadale trip that had to be cancelled during the coronavirus pandemic and an expert’s talk on the golden eagle.
